<br />Colorado Native Aquatic Species Restoration Facility
<br />November 1998
<br />Page 4
<br />
<br />The current design parameters being used to plan the size and number of
<br />rearinglholding containers is 250 pairs of each species/strain that are the focus of work at
<br />any given time. And production goals of up to 10,000 fingerlings/year/species of the small
<br />body fish.. Production of 100,000 fingerlings per species/year for the large bodied fish.
<br />Additionally, providing refugia for the adult stocks ofthe two Colorado River species. Any
<br />additional refugia is not currently being planned; however, it could be accomplished but at
<br />the cost of cutting production without NASR facility expansion. No production/distribution
<br />of any fish is expected until the summer of 2002 and then only on a limited basis. Full
<br />production can not be expected until the summer of2003.

<br />Preliminary Production Plan:
<br />
<br />The following production plan represents a preliminary view of what species may
<br />be produced at the NASR facility. As previously stated, priority was given to those species
<br />that are either listed as threatened or endangered, or in decline. The final plan will be
<br />completed based on continuing discussion with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to address
<br />the needs of the Colorado River fishes, as well as other species. It is anticipated that this
<br />plan will be completed by March 1999.
